 Our Marine Campaigner, Ben Birt, recently travelled to southern Africa for the Shark Swim Challenge, our amazing awareness and fund raising adventure for shark conservation.
Follow his journey from Johannesburg and Mozambique to Swaziland and Zululand, through game parks and conservation reserves towards the ultimate challenge of a cage dive with Great White Sharks. Check out some great photos here .
"A mad scramble ensued to peel on the wetsuits and slide into the cage for the up-close experience with great white sharks. Underwater, as shark after shark glided past the cage, mere centimetres away, the effect was mesmerising and an experience I'll certainly be looking to repeat some day." |

 Please act now to save our sharks from being slaughtered by helping put an end to the export of shark fins to the Asian market.
In the coming weeks, Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett will set the Wildlife Trade Operation conditions for the NSW Ocean Trap and Line Fishery.
This decision will be made despite no scientific evidence demonstrating what level of shark fishing (if any) is sustainable.
Let Minister Garrett know that a quota on total shark catch is not enough . Tell him to stop the unsustainable trade in shark fin exports from Australia.

| The recent listing of the mako and porbeagle sharks under the international Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) should have offered, under our national environmental legislation, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act, a small increase in the level of protection afforded to these sharks in Australian waters.
However, following a concerted lobbying effort from a vocal minority of game fishers, the Federal government has proposed to amend the EPBC Act to allow the continued targeting and killing of these threatened sharks. | Photo © tikigod
